(What is this?)Product Description
Product Description
This is an incredible biography of the life of an extraordinary woman. It includes full colour, rarely seen prints from the Broadhurst archive, as well as a collection of her most popular designs. Florence Broadhurst was an amazing woman, who led an extraordinary life. Born on an isolated Australian farm in 1899, at 15 she wrote an article for her school paper that read like a mission statement - "I am resolved to do great things." By 19 she was singing her way around Australia, and by 25 had toured much of Asia. After decades of travelling the globe, she returned to her homeland posing as an English aristocrat and became the darling of the elite social set. At 63, she set up a wallpaper company "to put the colour back into people's lives...". She created over 800 hugely popular patterns and designs that defined the swinging sixties around the world. And then, in October 1977, it all came to an abrupt end with her still famously unsolved ritualistic murder.
